PRIESTHOOD OF JESUS REPLACED LEVI'S PRIESTHOOD : A Controversial Topic 18

PRIESTHOOD OF JESUS REPLACED LEVI'S PRIESTHOOD :

Before we continue to know this another Controversial Topic, Let us know first from what tribe Jesus belong, truly sons of Levi received the office of Priesthood and have a commandment to take Tithes of the people according to the law (Hebrews 7:5). 

This is so important that if Jesus belongs to the Tribe of Levi, the changed of priesthood even the law will also affect the Priesthood of Jesus, for there are twelve tribes of Israel, which of these tribes Jesus belong ?

Here are the Twelve Tribes of Israel :

THE 12 SONS OF ISRAEL :

1 Chronicles 2: 1-2  New International Version (NIV)

Israel’s Sons :

These were the sons of Israel :

1. Reuben, 2. Simeon, 3. Levi, 4. Judah, 5. Issachar, 6. Zebulun,7. Dan, 8. Joseph, 9. Benjamin, 10. Naphtali, 11. Gad ,12. Asher.

We can see here that Judah and Levi were among the 12 Sons of Israel.

and

HERE ARE THE FAMILY TREE OF THE 12 TRIBES OF ISRAEL

Here are Judah’s descendants from Sons of Judah down to David or King David to Jesse :

JUDAH :

To Hezron’s Sons ( 1 Chronicles 2: 3-13 )

³ The sons of Judah: Er, Onan and Shelah. These three were born to him by a Canaanite woman, the daughter of Shua. Er, Judah’s firstborn, was wicked in the Lord’s sight; so the Lord put him to death. 
4 Judah’s daughter-in-law Tamar bore Perez and Zerah to Judah. He had five sons in all.

⁵ The sons of Perez: Hezron and Hamul.

⁶ The sons of Zerah: Zimri, Ethan, Heman, Kalkol and Darda^[a]—five in all.

⁷ The son of Karmi: Achar,^[b] who brought trouble on Israel by violating the ban on taking devoted things.^[c]

⁸ The son of Ethan: Azariah.

⁹ The sons born to Hezron were: Jerahmeel, Ram and Caleb.

From Ram Son of Hezron

¹⁰ Ram was the father of Amminadab, and Amminadab the father of Nahshon, the leader of the people of Judah. 

¹¹ Nahshon was the father of Salmon,^[e] Salmon the father of Boaz, 

¹² Boaz the father of Obed and Obed the father of Jesse.

¹³ Jesse was the father of Eliab his firstborn; the second son was Abinadab, the third Shimea,

¹⁴ the fourth Nethanel, the fifth Raddai, 

¹⁵ the sixth Ozem and the seventh David.

LET US GO NOW TO DAVID THE SEVENTH SON OF JESSE GOING TO JESUS :

Matthew 1: 1-6  King James Version (KJV)

1 The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.

² Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren;

³ And Judas begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares begat Esrom; and Esrom begat Aram;

⁴ And Aram begat Aminadab; and Aminadab begat Naasson; and Naasson begat Salmon;

⁵ And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse;

⁶ And Jesse begat David the king; …

AS WHAT THE SCRIPTURES SAID THAT THE GENERATION OF JESUS CHRIST CAME FROM DAVID, THE SON OF ABRAHAM.

BY THESE, VERY CLEAR THAT JESUS CAME FROM JUDAH’S TRIBE AND NOT FROM LEVI, WHEN THE LEVITE PRIESTS WAS TAKEN OUT FROM PRIESTHOOD WHO HAVE AN ORDER TO RECEIVE TITHES, IT IS PRIESTHOOD FROM JUDAH’S TRIBE REPLACES LEVI AND THAT IS JESUS CHRIST THE HIGH PRIEST IN PROFESSION :

Hebrews 3: 1  King James Version (KJV)

3 Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;

THE PRIESTHOOD CHANGED :

The Priesthood was changed and replaced by Jesus Christ from Judah’s Tribe, it happened that Moses mentioned nothing about it or Jesus, could be because it would come very far in the future, but regarding Melchizedek possibly he knows something about him :

Hebrews 7: 12-20  New International Version (NIV)

¹² For when the priesthood is changed, the law must be changed also.¹³ He of whom these things are said belonged to a different tribe, and no one from that tribe has ever served at the altar. ¹⁴ For it is clear that our Lord descended from Judah, and in regard to that tribe Moses said nothing about priests. ¹⁵ And what we have said is even more clear if another priest like Melchizedek appears, ¹⁶ one who has become a priest not on the basis of a regulation as to his ancestry but on the basis of the power of an indestructible life. ¹⁷ For it is declared:

“You are a priest forever,
    in the order of Melchizedek.”

¹⁸ The former regulation is set aside because it was weak and useless ¹⁹ (for the law made nothing perfect), and a better hope is introduced, by which we draw near to God.

²⁰ And it was not without an oath ! Others became priests without any oath,

SO, WHEN LEVITE PRIESTHOOD WAS CHANGED AND REPLACED, DOES’T MEAN THAT AN ORDER TO RECEIVED TITHES AND OFFERING ALSO CHANGED, ONLY LEVITE PRIESTHOOD CHANGED AND REPLACED BY or FROM ANOTHER TRIBE and THAT IS FROM THE TRIBE OF JUDAH ( Jesus as a High Priest forever with an oath in the order of Melchizedek replaced Levite Priesthood without an oath), NOT ANYMORE IN THE ORDER OF MOSES.

Hebrews 7: 12-14 King James Version (KJV)

¹² For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.

¹³ For he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to another tribe, of which no man gave attendance at the altar.

¹⁴ For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.

Hebrews 7: 21 King James Version (KJV)

²¹ (For those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath by him that said unto him, The Lord sware and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec:)

NOW, HOW COULD JESUS CAN RECEIVE TITHES AND OFFERINGS ?

They bring their Tithes and Offering to the Temple but that “Temple of Jerusalem” was destroyed in the year 70 A.D. base on Church History, Jesus predicted the Temple’s destruction :

John 9: 4 King James Version (KJV)

⁴ I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.

IS GOD’S TEMPLE RESTORED OR EXIST IN OUR PRESENT TIME ?

WHO ARE NOW THE TEMPLE OF GOD ? AS IT IS WRITTEN THAT JESUS BECAME A HIGH PRIEST FROM JUDAH’S TRIBE REPLACED LEVI TO RECEIVE TITHES AND OFFERING  ?

1 Corinthians 6:19-20  King James Version (KJV)

¹⁹ What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?

²⁰ For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

Colossians 1:17-19  King James Version (KJV)

¹⁷ And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

¹⁸ And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.

¹⁹ For it pleased the Father that in him should all fullness dwell;

Acts 3: 20-21 King James Version (KJV)

20 And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you:

21 Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.

CLEARLY THAT THE BODY OF CHRIST IS THE CHURCH AND THE CHURCH AS THE BODY IS THE TEMPLE OF GOD THROUGH THE HOLY SPIRIT WHICH IS IN THE CHURCH, THE TEMPLE OF GOD IN OUR PRESENT TIME RESTORED :

HOW WE WILL KNOW THAT THE CHURCH WE BELONG IS TRULY THE BODY OF CHRIST AND THE TEMPLE OF GOD WHERE JESUS AS THE HIGH PRIEST TO RECEIVE OUR TITHES AND OFFERING, AND ALSO WHERE WE CAN TRULY WORSHIP HIM ?

LET THE BIBLE PROVES AND SPEAKS :

1 Corinthians 12: 28  New International Version (NIV)

²⁸ And God has placed in the church first of all apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing, of helping, of guidance, and of different kinds of tongues.

TO KNOW IF THERE IS A TRUE CHURCH NOWADAYS ESTABLISHED BY GOD, ACCORDING TO WHAT IS WRITTEN, GOD PLACED FIRST AN APOSTLE LIKE PAUL ( Romans 1: 5-6 ), SECONDARY PROPHETS BY THE SPIRIT OR SPIRITUAL PROPHETS ( Ephesians 3: 5 / 1 Corinthians 14: 37 ), TEACHERS AND THE REST, PLUS THE COMPLETE GIFTS OF ADMINISTRATION (Ephesians 4: 10-14)

NOW DO YOU HAVE THIS KIND OF CHURCH THAT GOD PLACED FIRST AN APOSTLE, WHERE ALL OFFERING INCLUDING TITHES MUST BRING AND PLACED ?

Acts 4: 34-35 King James Version (KJV)

³⁴ Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold,

³⁵ And laid them down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.

AS IT IS WRITTEN MUST LAID THEM DOWN AT THE APOSTLE’S FEET.

MAY THESE TRUTH ENLIGHTENS EVERYONE.
